Fill in the fields

• URL (mandatory) — paste the full web address you want to open
• Position in menu — the position number in the custom menu
• Active — makes the Menu Item visible

Click Save.

Refresh the page.

How the URL fields work

URL (mandatory) accepts:

• an internal OutSmart page
• an external website
• a copied full web address

URL (preset) is optional.

When you select a preset, the title changes automatically.

Preset links point to standard OutSmart pages. In most cases, a custom URL is more useful.
